We had a delux room in February. The room looks good with balcony and the size of the room was o.k., but it was full with mosquito. The furniture and the bathroom looks old, but this is the one of the oldest hotel on Karon Beach. The room was 2400 baht/night, this quality in Pattaya a few days ago was... More

Stayed here for the 2nd year in a row. Bungalow room this year was older than previous year and not as nice. However, the gardens, pool area and location across the street from the beach made up for it. The breakfast buffet is very very good. Rooms are cleaned every day and the staff are nice and helpful. Would stay... More

Great location on the north end of Karon Beach, the beach is just across the road (you can rent chairs and umbrellas for a low price on the beach), and it's within walking distance to the tiny downtown area and lots of restaurants. The hotel has a decent pool and a full breakfast. We didn't book ahead; it was low... More

The superior room was better,was a lot cleaner and there was a balcony but again daren't even open... More

We stayed at this place for three nights during Januari 2011. The rooms were very dirty and in poor condition. The good things with the resort is the location, just cross the street and you're on the beach. Another good thing is the pool which is big and sunny during almost the whole day. It was very noisy during the... More

Low season Thailand is paradise. We have outstanding weather, and basically had this hotel to ourselves. We stayed for 6 nights, and booked into a superior bungalow for 700baht a night. We were 'upgrade' for no additional cost to a deluxe room (which is in the hotel section). There is really no difference in quality between the superior and deluxe... More

Bungalow type rooms set in garden are clean and serviced. Being off-season the breakfast menu is very limited, but none-the-less enjoyable. Reception staff are helpful and smiling.

Pros - Price THB 1000 for 1 night or 1400 for 2 nights for a small hut. Cons - Old huts. - Lousy showers / toilets. - Swimming pool is greenish colour. Is a brave person to go swimming in that pool! - Very unfriendly, unhelpful and unknowable office staff. Definitely not khon Thai!
